Wow... I started replaying early using the Speed Walkthrough, as I mentioned yesterday, and I am now currently in World 4 prior to the Grandfather battle. Forget the 2.5 hours, I am already about 4.5 hours now, but it sure is much, much more faster than the previous gameplay. If nothing goes wrong, meaning no problem with the Grandfather's, the crazy elevator's, and the Final boss' battles, theoretically I should finish the game in a few hours. I need to take a break now, though. So I will continue later.

Wish me luck for the upcoming aforementioned battles

Yep, finished the game again after a few hours, overall faster than the previous gameplay, but I still needed to reach level 51 to finish. It is true, though, that according to the Speed Walkthrough one can play the game without even dying once. Of course I sort of *cheated* as well, since whenever my party did not seem to be able to win a battle, I just pressed the Escape key to return to the menu and to load previous save state

Stilll, Samuel's showdown in Saline caught me by surprise. It is the one thing not described in the Speed Walkthrough of course, since I was using Samuel instead of Matthieu. So I didn't equip him with the better armor and Pearl Talisman of Heart, and he died (thus it counted as one dying in the game stats).

Now that I think about it, my original plan with all-priests party really should be able to finish the game, except that the challenge will be greater, especially against those creatures with MX immunity (so Hand of the Gods won't work against them). An all-hunters party, I reckon will also be tougher, since they will have to rely on Recover skill. All-mages party, as Hamster of Doom said, may have no chances since they have no Recover nor Party Healing skill.

Anyway, great game. I learnt my mistakes, and take back some of the criticism I mentioned about the game frustration earlier. I, however, still stand by my opinion that the ability to sell unused items in the inventory, more save points (with lower price) or the ability to save the game at anytime-anyplace, and no level cap limitation will make the game more fun. Maybe it can be set through difficulty option. Like for example, in easy/normal mode there is no level cap (gamer can play as long as they like, building higher level party), while in hard mode there is level cap, and so on. That way, people can play with their preference. Some people like to play smarter, others like to play longer and more casually at their own pace

Still, kudos to this game. It really takes freeware indie game to a higher level k: k: k:

Anybody has any news on The Spirit Engine 2 development? I searched with Google, but found no news and the Natomic website seems to be in re-design phase still.

Time to move on to another game

This is the official homepage for Spirit Engine 2. I don't know if you had already found it, but I still decided to put the link here. I've played the game through twice, and I think I'll do it at least once more

Whoops this topic is old... Sorry for the spam.

i think that not-frequent save points and quite high price for them is good, it makes game difficultier and more fun=P

btw rabadi, since you have finished the game with so many characters, maybe you could post screenshots of some ending artworks =)
i have seen my party only (Clara, Pippa and Matthieu)

It is, and some people do want it. However, I have a 2.5 years old daughter that sometimes needs quick attendance, so more save points (or even the ability to save anytime-anywhere) in my case is appreciated. Thus, I propose to define this in a difficulty level (not sure if the software by Clickteam used to create this game is capable of it or not, though)

In fact I actually did take screen captures on them when I finished the game the other day. I have Clemetas, Zepher, Samuel, Pippa, and Eisfford outro. I don't have the files in front of me now (they are on another computer), so I will post them tomorrow k:

[rabadi]

SPOILER WARNING!!! (For those who are actually playing the game right now and do not want to see the outro pictures)

The original screen captures were in .bmp. I converted them to .jpg to reduce the size. Okay, here you go.

Clemetas' Outro
Eisfford's Outro
Pippa's Outro
Samuel's Outro
Zepher's Outro

Clara's, Matthieu's, Edward's and Peter's Outro coming in tomorrow, just give me a bit more time to finish the game. Yeah, I know I said it was time to move on to another game, but I haven't found a suitable one in the last several days, so...

[rabadi]

Here you go:

Clara's Outro
Peter's Outro
Edward's Outro
Matthieu's Outro

Okay, I'm really done with this game now... No, really... well, maybe not

Man, what an annoying game... I'm just about to give up on it 'cos I'm really tired of fighting endlessly. I'm in the deserts btw, and still can't manage to beat Tza Tze no matter how many times I've tried(even though I'm like level 40). I've got a mage, a priest and a rifleman. And no, I really don't want to restart the game. That'd make it like almost 8 times already. ><;;

Does anyone have any tips? And yes, I've read a few walkthroughs already but still, I can't seem to beat him.
